You can eat these like chips, or dip them in marinara sauce, or make an entree out of it! I layered my breaded eggplant on top of spinach and artichoke egg noodles with fresh tomatoes and basil. It was so scrumptious!</div>

If you compulsively browse Pinterest the way I do, you've no doubt seen this DIY in a million different ways. I didn't really pay it a second look until I came up on these adorable San Pellegrino bottles at my local fave for pizza. I just COULD NOT throw them away! I decided it was time to hop on the bottle tiki torch bandwagon. Then I found this GORGEOUS Absolut bottle I had been hoarding and added it to the list of torches. I have a ridiculous amount of torches now. I'm pretty sure there will be no mosquitoes within a 25 mile radius of my deck. I HIGHLY encourage you to do what everyone else on God's green Earth is doing and make these! They're so freaking cute, easy, and can we say sustainable??</div>

So tomorrow I go to Hawaii!!This is my first time and I am so super stoked. You will be seeing lots about the trip on my various social media sites, so be sure to check back! Anyway, I've been planning and packing for months. In the normal OCD fashion of my packing tendencies, I had to order all new travel bottles that match. I got these from HM for about $3 each. Yes, they're a little pricey when it comes to travel bottles, but I like how simple they are... and they all match. But, since they're all the same color, it's next to impossible to tell the contents apart. Labels were a necessity.</div>

A long long time ago, Epson sent me their<a href="http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/jsp/Product/Overview.do?UseCookie=yes&sku=C51CB69140" target="_blank"> LabelWorks Printable Ribbon Kit</a> and let me tell you... it's SO COOL! You buy pre-filled cartridges of ribbon and ink. It isn't adhesive, but that's nothing a glue gun can't fix. You can also print regular labels on this, as well. I'm smitten!</div>

I used it to make the seriously most classy travel bottle labels ever!</div>

Happy May everyone! This month's Michaels Makers challenge was to take a class at the store. Well, due to some miscommunication (several of them, actually), that didn't work out for me. So, cue the craft kit! Michaels has an amazing selection of craft kits that include instructions and all the supplies you need to complete it. I chose this oh-so-adorable DIY Chalkboard Candle Kit. It was SO EASY! Follow the photo tutorial below and see if this is something you'd like to pick up and make!</div>

This month's #MichaelsMakers challenge was involving Mother's Day. I, myself, don't have kids, but I have nieces and nephews and a mother that teaches pre-school. So when I thought of this, my niece LOVED the idea and my mom is even going to do this with her entire class!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I designed a free printable that you can have your significant other do with the kids FOR YOU! Or if you teach, take it to school, let your kids fill it out and send it home to surprise their moms!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Once they're filled out, get some <a href="http://www.michaels.com/recollections-laminate-roll/10253929.html?cm_mmc=plasearch-_-Google-_-PLA-_-10253929&gclid=CLiGnsG48MsCFQkfhgod5MIOag" target="_blank">laminating paper from Michaels</a> so you can keep these precious little gems FOREVER!</div>

This month's challenge was "Make It Your Own". So, what did I do? I took a craft that my mom does with her preschool class and made it my own. But, even though I turned this fun craft into a classy piece of home decor, this is still a GREAT craft to do with your kids. It's the perfect DIY if you want to get a little messy, but it has an easy clean up and the results are SO cool! I mean, who would have thought to use shaving cream as a medium to make a marble pattern?</div>

I think we all know what a geek I am. So let's just acknowledge it once more and now you can all admit that you're equally as enamored by Game of Thrones as the rest of the world. What better love story is there than that of Khaleesi and Khal Drogo?? I mean, it's glorious. There's no other way to put it. I was feeling especially inspired by their words of love, so I made some Valentine's Day cards out of it... and I turned them into free downloads for you guys!!</div>

These print perfectly onto the <a href="http://www.michaels.com/recollections-cards-and-envelopes-4.25x5.5/10290126.html?cm_mmc=plasearch-_-Google-_-PLA-_-10290126&gclid=CPWQqaWZt8oCFccXHwodYBwNdg" target="_blank">Recollections Cards and Envelopes from Michael's - size 4.25in x 5.5in</a>. I used InDesign to print mine. I created a print preset, setting it to Half Letter and landscape... this way I don't have to customize the settings every time I print a card. </div>

2016 is a year of new beginnings for me. The #MichaelsMakers Challenge this month is to get organized, and I can't tell you how desperately I needed this. I use to have my own craft room, a big space just for me and my art... and then life happened.<br />
<br />
Divorce brought me to living temporarily with my parents (at the age 34, I know...), but it's been a blessing and is allowing me to get back on my feet and find myself. As a result, though, I've lost a lot of space and have had to minimize my crafting supplies. I went from a huge room to a tiny little closet. And honestly, it's been SO GOOD. I'm much more considerate when creating. I don't hoard anymore. It's less stressful when going through my things trying to find what I want. However, this little closet had no shelves, so everything was just organized stacks of chaos.<br />

When <a href="http://www.dpbolvw.net/click-7574162-11800551-1442852093000" target="_blank">Michaels </a>told us about their new line of organizational products, Cre8ted Spaces, and challenged us to get organized, I was so stoked! ESPECIALLY when I saw this awesome little cart! It fits PERFECTLY in my itty bitty closet. It's also on wheels so I can just pull it out when I'm working on a project.<br />
<br />
Check out the before photo and then the transformation! I'm in love with my new tiny little creative space. It definitely inspires me to create a little bit more!<br />
<br />
I was able to make my yarn winder accessible, set up a little calligraphy station, store all my paints and painting supplies, sketchbooks, markers, scrapbooking supplies and leather. All my favorite mediums so easily accessible!<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, this line is not available on-line, so get your butt to a store. <a href="http://www.anrdoezrs.net/click-7574162-12464559-1451577606000" target="_blank">Click here for a 40% off coupon!</a><br />

For those of you that have been with ESM since the
beginning, you know that sharing aspects of my personal life is not something
that I do here.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The reality is, I want to share, but so many times I’ve
started writing what I want to say and then I think, “nobody will care”. So I delete it. And then I post something completely
impersonal that tells you nothing about who I am except what style of décor I
like.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
2016 is the year that sh!t gets real here. I’ve been through some crap in my life. And I know every single one of you has, too. We already have something huge in common,
something that unites us and has created a bond and that is our creativity. So why not get real and raw about all the things in life that inspire our
creativity? The joy, the trials, the
down-hills and the up-hills. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Maybe, once you see what’s behind the things I create, the
ideas I foster, it will inspire you a little bit more. Once you see that I’m a survivor of domestic
violence, that I’ve been divorced, that I’ve lost a baby, that I have multiple
health issues… you’ll realize that even though you see these organized and
gloriously styled projects and photos on here, life is not, in face, perfect
for me, but I am perfectly happy and incredibly grateful for every single thing
in my imperfect life. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This year, 2016, I want to be about connecting with all of
you, because, quite honestly, if it wasn’t for all of you, for this community,
some days I’m not sure how I’d go on. So
thank you. <o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
Happy New Year, friends! Here's to a year filled with laughter, crying, growing and learning.</div>

I've had this box of vintage christmas lights laying around for about 4 years. I got them at an estate sale because... it was a box of beautifully colored vintage light bulbs.. why else?? And for four years, I've had the intention of making this with them and never did it until now. This is such an easy project and such a great way to use lightbulbs that don't work anymore!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
All you need is a high-heat glue gun and sticks, a foam wreath and a strand of twinkly lights.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Once you glue the bulbs to the foam, wrap it with the twinkly lights and hang! It looks like a super expensive Christmas decoration and in reality, it cost me MAYBE $10. </div>

Fresh flowers are my favorite thing. Ever. I also love fresh herbs and the absolutely heavenly aromas that come along with live fresh herbs. So I decided to combine those two to make the perfect holiday arrangement. </div>

The Rosemary Tree was purchased at Trader Joes. So cute, right?? The rest of the flowers, so beautiful, you can find <a href="https://www.ftd.com/flowers-ctg/occasion-christmas-flowers" target="_blank">here</a>. They have the perfect selection for the holidays!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I encourage you to step out of your floral comfort zone and play with different ways of displaying your favorite flowers for the holidays. They may not last as long, but will be such a show-stopper for your Christmas gatherings!</div>

I struggle all the time with wanting cute wrapping for things that are weird sizes and shapes, don't have boxes, or are just so plain on their own that a little something extra in the packaging would go a long way.<br />
<br />
This tutorial shows you how to make a gift bag of any shape and size using only craft paper, yarn, a weaving needle and scissors. No tape, no glue. <br />
<br />

First you need to cut the size of paper you want that will fit whatever object you're wrapping.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Second, fold it in half and along the folded edge, cut the corners off. This will box out the bottom for you.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Third, while folded in half, place your paper on the carpet and stab through both sides, up along both edges. Then fold the shortest sides to create the roll at the top of the bag and stab completely through the roll.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Fourth, snip the folded edge (the bottom) once on either side by the corner you cut. We will thread the yarn through here to support the weight of whatever is in the bag.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now start threading! Make sure to do the bottom first. You want the yarn to be on the outside of the bottom to support the paper. Thread both bottom holes first and make sure you have enough yarn on either side to thread all the way up and create a handle.</div>

We recognize the sacrifice and risk taken by those who have fought for
us, for our freedom, for our comfortable lives. I’m sure all of us have someone in our family that is either
currently serving or has served. I find
it incredible that so many in our nation take such pride in defending what we
believe in.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

And I am SO thankful for it.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
My grandfather, Charlie, served in WWII in the Marines. He never spoke of it to me or my
siblings. <br />
We only knew he had seen
things during that time that he didn’t want us to know about. Even after the war ended, after his service concluded, he
was still fighting for us, keeping those terrible memories to himself to
protect our tiny naïve minds from the horrors he witnessed while defending our
country and helping to give us a good, happy, care-free life. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
One of my fondest memories of my grandfather, Pops, was how every time I'd see him I'd sing "Jesus Loves Me" to him and he'd give me a quarter. Then there was the Lava Monster game. My grandparents had this horrid mauve carpet (because it was the 80s and that was the thing, I guess)... but my brothers and cousins and I would pretend it was lava and lay a path of cushions down. The goal was to get through the living room without touching the lava... if you did, the lava monster (Pops) would grab you and tickle you until you peed yourself. <br />
<br />
Then there were the trips to Myrtle Beach every year... Pops would put me on his shoulders and wade into the deep water, making sure the waves never crashed over my head. And the trips to Disney when the exhaustion would get the best of me and Pops would carry me for hours through the park.<br />
<br />
I never saw Pops as a soldier, but I always saw him as my protector. And even now, though he's not with us anymore, I know he's still my guardian angel. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Find a vet… someone you know or don’t… and try to imagine
the things they’ve experienced in order to preserve our amazing lives… then
tell them “Thanks”. <o:p></o:p></div>

They deserve it more than you’ll ever know.<o:p></o:p></div>

We so often fail to see the sacrifices that so many have made so we can live our amazing lives. <br />
<br />
I designed these stickers so the people that deserve to be recognized and deserve the honor they've earned by their sacrifice can be given the proper thanks on Veteran's Day. You can either use this with your <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?B=567915&U=1164940&M=51766&urllink=" target="_blank">Cricut </a>or simply print it on sticker paper and cut it out yourself.

I know I'm not alone in this, but I MUST have fresh flowers in my living space on a regular basis. I don't know what it is, but they just make me so happy. This bouquet from Pro-Flowers is the epitome of fall gorgeousness to me. The colors are absolutely breath taking! <a href="http://www.proflowers.com/halloween-flowers-hwn" target="_blank">You can browse all of their fall bouquets here. </a>I thought they would like even more stunning in a spur of the moment vase made from a craft pumpkin. Honestly, one of the easiest DIY vases ever! All you have to do is cut a hole in the top and depending on the size of your pumpkin, add a glass or vase or jar to hold the flowers. Easy peasy!</div>

It's that time of year again! Nope, not Halloween. Nope, not Thanksgiving. It's time for the annual Dream Tree Challenge with <a href="http://www.anrdoezrs.net/click-7574162-11783264-1442852093000" target="_blank">Michaels</a>! **cue applause** <br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Last year, my tree was<a href="http://www.eatsleepmake.com/2014/11/michaelsmakers-dream-tree-challenge.html" target="_blank"> dripping with faux taxidermy and tartan plaid</a>. I adored it! This year, I'm sticking with the rustic theme, but I wanted something more natural, more earthy this time. I thought, "If I lived in the middle of the woods and had no access to a store, how would my tree look?" </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Well, this is what I came up... and let me tell you, this is the first time ever a tree I've decorated has given me goosebumps. I decided to put this up at my brother and sis-in-law's new house. The kiddos helped and it was such a blast. I know they will enjoy having the tree up for a few months.<br />
<br />
For the tree skirt we went with mother earth's natural ground cover and used moss. I love love love the way it looks! For the topper, I used leaves and feathers. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Everything on this tree was bought at <a href="http://www.anrdoezrs.net/click-7574162-11785018-1442852093000" target="_blank">Michaels</a>. (except for the pine cones, which were bought at an estate sale.)</div>

Hi lovelies! I don't know what it is, but I am so motivated to get creative stuff done lately. I feel like I have been in a perpetual rut for the past year, but, now it's finally lifting. The clouds are parting, the skies are clearing... and all is well in the world.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I might be old fashioned, but I love giving housewarming gifts and hostess gifts. I'm trying to do this thing where I celebrate even the smallest things in life. Even if it's just someone moving into a new apartment or a friend having me over for dinner. These are all the things that make life so amazing, so why not acknowledge the happy moments with a little gift?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This idea was inspired by my good friend, Sarah. We stopped by Michaels during lunch one day and she saw these little test tubes with corks in the fun little bins by the registers and told me her idea. I immediately asked if I could poach it and share it with you guys. I came up with the leather wrap and metal tag, though. The tag idea came about when Martha Stewart asked if I'd like to try out their new metal stamping kit and sheets of metal. Of course, I said, "HECK YES". </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPzP0TRZsV8OFGdwBmpWXZMtruEAuUXv8fzyxcJItv6GQ-bpYHv6BVbR5lt6FabFWDrOAXPckZrHA0k-RRpjZH_wRwXch2VZj9mlaKihgbt-NWOyfaDHq0Qkcrfo8a2Gc59pqF4QfqUA/s1600/Metal+Stamping+Housewarming+Gift+Collage+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPzP0TRZsV8OFGdwBmpWXZMtruEAuUXv8fzyxcJItv6GQ-bpYHv6BVbR5lt6FabFWDrOAXPckZrHA0k-RRpjZH_wRwXch2VZj9mlaKihgbt-NWOyfaDHq0Qkcrfo8a2Gc59pqF4QfqUA/s1600/Metal+Stamping+Housewarming+Gift+Collage+1.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
First I have to say that the sheets of metal in the pack are GORGEOUS. There's a copper hue, gold hue, then a rubbed bronze kinda hue. All absolutely stunning.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Secondly, although the idea of this metal stamping is pretty awesome, I felt it difficult to execute well. I did not have the "rubber stamping mat" they instruct you to use the tool with, so I improvised and used a towel. It worked... kinda. I had to go over the letter with the end of tweezers to really get the detail to show. I'm going to get the rubber mat eventually and see if the stamp works any better.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So now onto the little gift. You need a bunch of spices, EVOO, one of those nifty little corked test tubes that you can get at Michaels, and a small bottle with a cork also from Michaels. You will also need a piece of leather and some leather cording. Again, both found at Michaels.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Layer and mix the spices into the test tube and then cork. Fill the bottle with EVOO and set aside.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-GZzjrNPdCr5LXUPu93b8h1lkayBJ6YzpmJP5z1csG1yo2clbMfJNuiK2vige5IwXWmybruFdn_vAQ80VkwYZck25xqJ51LlpKqYqqSylz17qQdBNLKafX9KvLb6aW3b4FyFuyY0b3w/s1600/Metal+Stamping+Housewarming+Gift+Collage+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-GZzjrNPdCr5LXUPu93b8h1lkayBJ6YzpmJP5z1csG1yo2clbMfJNuiK2vige5IwXWmybruFdn_vAQ80VkwYZck25xqJ51LlpKqYqqSylz17qQdBNLKafX9KvLb6aW3b4FyFuyY0b3w/s1600/Metal+Stamping+Housewarming+Gift+Collage+2.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I found this pre-cut, pre-shaped piece of leather and cut slits in it as shown below. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The slits on the short ends are what you will slide the test tube and the bottle. The tiny slits on the long slides will be wear you lace the leather cording.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuoQUyqTkQV0YEVnh4iUTsuPwG2XjWSogjNNT1wg9M8pxaTHpftpQJ64n6pIQ1GQF300EmRm_bfLPop3YEVBVytuocSIc2ZWv09pNB9po47MeLe5b61VhKwL3pM-VT18s2N6-N2zaVrw/s1600/Metal+Stamping+Housewarming+Gift+8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="284" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuoQUyqTkQV0YEVnh4iUTsuPwG2XjWSogjNNT1wg9M8pxaTHpftpQJ64n6pIQ1GQF300EmRm_bfLPop3YEVBVytuocSIc2ZWv09pNB9po47MeLe5b61VhKwL3pM-VT18s2N6-N2zaVrw/s640/Metal+Stamping+Housewarming+Gift+8.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Below, you can see how the glass items slide into the slits in the leather. Cut an extra long piece of leather cording to lace into the tiny holes and then wrap around the entire package and finally tying. Take a smaller piece of leather cord and tie your tag on.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
TA-DA! A super adorable, minimal, rustic looking housewarming gift that will be just as delicious as it is cute!</div>

So you all know me... you know I'm a cat lady. Not quite crazy yet, but steadily approaching, I think. When the #MichaelsMakers challenges are posted, most of the time I immediately think of something insane I can make for my cats. Well, this month's costume challenge was no exception! I decided to turn my cat, Skilo, into a whimsical jackelope type creature... hence, I present to you Cat-Moose.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As you can see, Skilo loves me. You can see it all over his face. See... That look says, "Mom, I love you, my life is better because of you and these antlers you've crafted with love for my adorable head." I know you're all dying to know how to make your own Cat-Moose or, dare I say, DOG-Moose... so let's get to the tutorial!</div>

First and foremost, you have to sketch out your moose antlers. Cut them out of cardstock, then use that as your stencil for the felt. Make sure to leave about 1/8 inch between your chalk line and stencil because the card stock is going in between the two pieces of felt to give it some structure. You want 2 sides for each antler (obviously).</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Next, cut strips of felt about 3 inches long an as wide as the base of your antlers... you want 4 strips. Glue one strip to each antler piece (about 1 inch overlapping). Once that is done, glue the card stock and the 2 antler pieces together. </div>

Now you want to cut the band that will go around your pet's head. Mine is about 1.5 in wide. Find the center of it and cut 2 slits the width of the base of your antlers, about 1/2 inch apart. Fit the flaps at the end of your antlers through the cut. You will then fold it out and glue to the under side of the strap, then fold it up over the top and do the same. Where the strip meets the antler, reinforce it with hot glue to make sure the antlers stand upright.</div>

Project #2 of my iron-on transfer obsession.. a doggy hoodie for Atari! I bought this hoodie at <a href="http://store.americanapparel.net/black-flex-fleece-dog-zip-hoodie_f997a" target="_blank">American Apparel</a> and just gave it an extra little pizzaz with another doodle I did combined with the ever amazing <a href="http://us.cricut.com/home/learn/machines/explore-family/cricut-explore-one" target="_blank">Cricut Explore One</a>. I'm very fortunate that my dog actually likes wearing clothes. He's learned to associate clothing with going somewhere special. This trip really was special because it was Atari's first camping trip ever! <br />
<br />
I wanted something covering most of him while we hiked to give critters less furry goodness to jump onto. Plus, he gets cold very easily and usually needs a jacket or hoodie on when it's chilly at night. So, I decided to make one of his existing hoodies twice as adorable. (don't judge me, my dog is my child.)<br />

Atari's first experience with a creek was interesting to say the least. I put him on a rock in the middle of it and left him. It took him about 10 minutes to muster up the courage to walk very slowly through 1/2 inch deep water to get to the bank. Needless to say, I'm a horrible dog parent because I just stood there cracking up.</div>

Of course, another camping inspired post. I doodled this little tshirt design on a piece of paper and fell in love with it... so I put it on a shirt. Because that's what you do with things you love, right? You wear it on your sleeve. Or your torso, whatevs. This was my first endeavor into Iron-On Transfers... and let me tell you, I'm obsessed! Seriously, I want to iron-on EVERYTHING. I even made a hoodie for Atari.. he's wearing it in this pic, but that will be another post for another time... </div>

All the supplies came from <a href="http://www.michaels.com/search?q=tshirts" target="_blank">Michaels</a>, of course.</div>

This trip, we stayed at <a href="http://breakneckcampground.com/" target="_blank">Breakneck Campground</a> in Portersville, PA. Check out the adorable hut we stayed in that hung over the side of a gorge. I would live here. Like seriously. If you've never visited Pennsylvania.. I highly encourage you to do so and check out all the natural beauty it has to offer. I cannot wait to explore more hidden corners of this beautiful state I live in.</div>

Make your pasta, drain it and place back in pot. Add about 1/4 cup of Extra Virgin Olive Oil and press the 3 cloves of garlic into the pot. Add about 1 tablespoon of Oregano and Basil.. Salt and Pepper to taste. Mix it up and let it cool. Once it's cool, place in a large ziplock bag and refrigerate until you leave. You'll need to keep this in a cooler until you're ready to cook it at the campsite.</span></div>

It was the perfect crisp compliment. And of course, wine is a necessity! My favorite is Mirassou's Pinot Noir. Also, for those that cannot live without meat, a great way to add protein to this dish is to roast some Italian sausage over the fire, cut it up and toss it into the pasta. Easy peasy!</span><br />

I'm not even going to acknowledge the fact that summer is over. I love fall, but, this year, I feel like I need a little more summer in my life. This challenge of using craft pumpkins seriously was a challenge, just because I had to break out of the summer mentality to get the autumnal feeling in order to find proper inspiration for this. I cheated a little, though. I kept things green and did away with the traditional red and orange colors that find their way into most fall decor. I really really really love the look I came up with for my mom and dad's dining room table. They always host our gigantic family Thanksgiving dinner, so I figured it was the perfect place for this. </div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For my craft pumpkin DIY I kept it simple. I drilled a pattern of holes all around them. Then one bigger hole in the bottom. I stuffed a bunch of twinkle lights inside and voila. I think it adds the perfect amount of shimmer to the table without being too obnoxious. </div>

For the big centerpiece, I picked a bunch of fake flowers from Michaels that I thought would give this the perfect rustic-ish, harvest-ish, fall-ish feeling... there are even some feathers in there, too. Oh, and a little wooden owl hiding in there for the kids to find. This was so much fun to put together with my mom! She's definitely the one I get my craftiness from. </div>
